Along the central roads of Dien Bien province these days, hundreds of crape myrtle trees simultaneously bloom purple.
Lao Dong's records show that areas such as Vo Nguyen Giap street or along the Nam Rom riverbank are "hot" destinations attracting a large number of people and tourists to check in.
Magnolia flowers are not only blooming thickly but also have a rich purple color, forming clusters, creating a setting for commemorative photos.
Especially, during the April 30 - January 1 holidays of this year, in addition to visiting historical sites, searching for brilliant crape myrtle flower street corners to "check-in" will become an unmissable experience for many people, especially young people.
In the central streets, it is not difficult to see images of groups of tourists excitedly recording beautiful moments with the flower season.
Ms. Hai Yen (Muong Thanh ward) said: "Every time the crape myrtle season comes, I go with my friends dressed up to take pictures. I choose a muse outfit to suit the gentle and romantic beauty of this purple color.
Ms. Thu Trang (Tuan Giao commune) said: "Dien Bien in the last days of April is not only the heroic atmosphere of history but also very poetic. The flower blooming spots are located in public areas, without restricting people, making the atmosphere bustling".
Most of the flower blooming areas today are public spaces, creating favorable conditions for people and tourists to freely admire and take photos.
At this time in Dien Bien, if in the central streets, the purple color of crape myrtle occupies the entire "position", then at historical relics such as Hill A1, National Martyrs' Cemetery A1... the red color of phoenix flowers also starts to ignite.
The red color of phoenix flowers next to the war relics evokes a time of fire flowers, about the glorious years of fighting of our forefathers.
The combination of the purple color of crape myrtle and the red color of phoenix flowers has created a very unique appearance, both romantic and solemn for the historical land of Dien Bien Phu.
